#this was so hot serghei is ROCK HARD

"No 'if' needed. You are mine. Like, you and your whole body, you're mine. That dick is mine.. your face is mine. That big ass nose is mine. You are all mine." And Noori is very proud about it. "Since you are mine, you can be sure that you never have to suffer alone, that I will be there in your dark times, I will wipe away the blood before kissing you. Because you are mine. And I will kill you when you drop me to find someone else."

"my nose isn't that big--" serghei scoffs but he's already pulling noori in right where he belongs: pressed up against the dhampir. he used to be ashamed of the monstrous part of himself. used to want to hide his hunting business, the darkened blood and rusted blade. serghei never wanted noori near it. was positive that noori could never love him if he knew. how could you hold a venomous thing with tenderness?

with nothing but recklessness. with clenched teeth and ruthless love.

noori loves him without caution. serghei knows that now. he has loved noori, he realizes, since the day he saw him. knew from the second he laid eyes on the cat that serghei could not trudge through eternity without him.

"hey," he murmurs and tilts noori's chin up. dead serious. "don't you ever say that, you understand? don't you ever think i will ever abandon you. i will never leave you. i will die without you, noori." you cannot kill a dhampir, but you can drive out its humanity. you can take away its soulmate. same thing. "you are my universe, you understand that? there is nothing without you." a kiss. a grope. a nudging for serghei to show him exactly how much he cherishes noori.
